ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Foot Locker signed a lease for 111,000 square feet at 570 Carillon Parkway, a Class A office building, as the footwear and apparel retailer relocates its global headquarters to St. Petersburg, The Feil Organization, a real estate investment firm, said in a news release.

The Fortune 500 company announced in August its intention to relocate to St. Petersburg.
